The "I've been pooled" thread

Do you reckon Arch and Anth offers will be given out early or late? Completely speculation, would they deal with the bigger subjects first perhaps?

Who? Flozza? Her grades are pretty amazing.

Thanks Academix and everyone else for congratulations and such and good luck with it all...hang in there! I'm going to go back to my work now. Ciao.

Does anyone think that this is the end for offers yet, or that they will really go on into tomorrow and even Wednesday? When do you think you will really start to lose hope? I think if there is no news tomorrow either then my chances have significantly dwindled. people were being given offers on Saturday evening after all!

We still have a few days I reckon before calls dry up

I reckon people with grades like yours don't have too much to worry about tbh. I just think that, if you don't have +5A* at GCSE and have still been pooled after a good interview there isn't much chance for you (like me I think lol).

As I've said numerous times; the 10th is the cutoff point for further interviews, at least according to my letter.

This, as far as I can assume of course, does not mean you have been outright rejected by all other colleges, as you may be on their list, but they want to see how the other applicant performs at interview before offering you, or them a place.

There is also the chance your original college will take you back, too.

Are you sure that's possible. Has anyone with an offer from their preferred college had the following message: "The strong competition this year has unfortunately resulted in many good candidates being squeezed out". They also say in the opening sentence: "I am sorry to tell you that we have not been able to make you an offer at Pembroke College at this stage". So am i not totally ruled out?

Really? Damn, that's be out then.

Why are you assuming GCSE's are more important than AS levels?

I'm not, I think AS levels are obviously more important than GCSEs, but to make it to this stage the majority of people still afloat in the pool will most likely have 3/4 As with at least one or two at 90+ % anyway.
